Having linus on board is terrible advertising for something that is meant to be good.

I bought one for myself, and a high spec one for my wife's business. Mine is just a personal machine but I've been using it as a portable home server in my various moves. Very happy with both. They didn't seem a crazy amount more than similar spec machines in Europe

Not in the market for a laptop currently but I do intend to keep them in mind since I use Linux.

They wont ship to my locale and actively block frieight forwarders, otherwise I would happily give them $10k for a couple high end computers.

Yikes, XDA's reporting has really gone downhill since being bought out.

I haven't owned a laptop since smartphones and tablets took off. It's become a redundant form factor. Framework would be my go to choice if I ever did need one though.

Not readily available in Australia, I associate it with Linus (not torvalds), they're expensive, and god knows if Trump does weird export import stuff the moment it ships, and if it needs repair, nobody would be unsurprised if Trump made us pay to ship it back
